Jared R. Curhan is the Ford International Career Development Professor and tenured Associate Professor of Organization Studies at MIT's Sloan School of Management, where he specializes in the psychology of negotiation and conflict resolution.

Deeply committed to education at all levels, Dr. Curhan received Stanford University's Lieberman Fellowship for excellence in teaching and university service, as well as MIT's institute-wide teaching award. He is founder and president of the Program for Young Negotiators, Inc., an organization dedicated to the promotion of negotiation training in primary and secondary schools. His book, Young Negotiators (Houghton Mifflin, 1998), is acclaimed in the fields of negotiation and education and has been translated into Spanish, Hebrew, and Arabic. The book has been used to train more than 35,000 children across the United States and abroad to achieve their goals without the use of violence. Dr. Curhan received his BA in Psychology from Harvard University and his MA and PhD in Psychology from Stanford University.
